How come, as far as I know, none of you ever made any #2in1#laptops, like Acer's Spin series, HP's x360 laptops, a non negligible part of Lenovo's Yoga laptops, or a growing number of Chromebook?
Because I would buy such a Laptop, especially if it used #CoreBoot (or a distro of it) as firmware. 😉
#Firefox 113.0.2 is out now to address a bug causing web pages to freeze when loading them with the Developer Tools Web Console open, a bug causing the bookmarks and history sidebars to fail to react to the browser window being vertically resized, and other issues.

I remember when I went from Windows to #Linux and the lack of drive letters seemed weird. However, it quickly made sense, and now I can't imagine why they'd want drive letters. I love having my fast SSD as root, and my slower, but large HDD as /home. All the defaults just work because it's still /home. In Windows, having a separate drive for my files was a ridiculous pain in the ass (as of Windows XP. No idea if they made it better. I doubt it)
You've started using #Linux, and now you'd like to learn more about the terminal and the internals of the operating system? My free Linux Administration Master Course covers everything from at to zsh. Sign up now, the course is starting soon!
If you're a #Linux person, or if you're old enough to be a Unix Sysadmin, you've cerainly used and overused tar to create "tarballs".
The name TAR comes from Tape ARchiver (and has nothing to do with insects rolling balls). It was used to create archives on tapes, which is why it's a sequential archiving system (on tapes, you can't skip forward like a CD).
Tapes are still in use, hidden behind newer, cooler tools.
